“Many of my faculty colleagues require our students to become certified in a tool like Microsoft Excel or take a LinkedIn course that covers applications like photo editing or social media analytics as part of their courses.

David Espindola, founder of Brainyus, a technology and consulting company, says we must learn to work with AI: “Americans should take ChatGPT courses and invest time learning how to collaborate with artificial intelligence to stay competitive in the workforce.” .
For Espindola, one of the possible negative consequences of AI is the displacement of jobs: “As AI increases the productivity of workers, those who are trained to work with AI will be highly valued, since they can perform tasks faster and more efficiently. This will improve their standing with the competition and create opportunities in their careers. Those who do not learn and collaborate effectively with AI will be left behind.”
